Bichette homers again in GCL win

Based on this Mark LoMoglio picture from last night’s walk-off win (h/t Rebecca), J.R. Murphy is out with some kind of leg issue. No idea what though, could be an ankle, a foot, hamstring, maybe he fouled a ball off his leg, who knows. Either way, he’s still on crutches, so he’s not coming back anytime soon.

Easy to excuse Warren’s poor start, he was expecting to start in NY today, now he has to be Bored in Scranton.

Word on the street is he was doing the NY Times crossword in the dugout while smoking a corn cobb pipe. At least he was doing it in pen though, so that speaks volumes about his self confidence.

Bichette is casually killing it… damn boy

Bichette > your sandwich round pick.

Jake LaMotta’s Left Hook

I wonder if what he has done is enough to sniff the Top 100 prospects lists.

mbonzo

No chance.

KenC

lol nah

MikeD

No. He’s playing in the lowest level of the minors in a place where most of the top prospects won’t even sign until the second week of August. He’s a man amongst boys, even if he’s only 18 himself.

What he’s done so far is great, but it’s to be expected on some level (granted, the domination he’s shown lately is exceptional). Tougher tests upcoming.

Wow! I didn’t even see Law’s lips move when you said that.

The Big City of Dreams

Worst draft ever ;)

Tom T

Of course Dante hits! He’s a Bichette… not some block headed DeLeon or Battle.

Battle’s freezing in the cold weather of Edmonton, Alberta in the North American Baseball League. Did get to play in Maui though

Bichette to the Bronx! Heh. This sure has been a fun tear, hasn’t it?

So what you’re really saying isa hitter that would be in the bigs for any other organization got a single off a pitcher that would be in the bigs for any other organization.

Can’t believe it took so long for someone to say this.

Zilo will be ready when Swish is a FA after his option year.

(I hope. I would mean more money for Hammels.)

Bichette is just heads and tails above these guys, even if these guys he’s playing with are on the weaker end of the draft pool, they are still far better than anything he has seen before. Its beyond insane on how bad he’s bad he’s killing the competition.

Its dante’s inferno and everyone’s getting burnt.

nycsportzfan

ya, hes doing stuff that people just don’t do, which makes level of comp less meaningful… U can’t help but love what hes doing and you are people completely foolish to think this isn’t gonna help him in the Prospect Rankings.. I mean, Montero at almost the same age, didn’t do anything near what Dante’s doing, and Montero did well in the GCL..

bryan mitchell will be the next brackman :D

Zolio is still hitting 290BA despite his 4-27 combined that u pointed out mike… U really don’t like him, i don’t get it? A switch hitter with pop, is always a good thing to have… Also, Another bad start for Adam Warren, whos losing Trade value by the second.. Chances are were gonna end up losing a ton of trade value on some of these prospects of ours, god forbid montero don’t start off next yr struggling in triple A, and betances struggles again where ever he is.. We better make a couple deals at least in the offseason… No matter what were gonna have some prospects still, with a bunch of young upside kids also…

oh, i totally agree, but he dosen’t like Zolio, and a 4-27 isn’t that worth mentioning when you just had a 4-5, ya know? Its kinda like saying “how can i knock this guy after this great day?” in my opinion… I mean, why not say hes 8-32, which he is with this past game????

ya, again, not worth mentioning his past 4-27, if the guy goes 4-5 in the most recent game bringing him to 8for his last 32, and 290BA overall, which for a guy whos still fairly new to the Class, is not shabby at all.. Dosent seem to be having much of a learning curve so far in Double AA… Way to go Zolio!

Z-o-i-l-o.

Dante Bichette Sr’s hitting profile amuses me. Part of it is because he’s only .001 away from being a career .300 hitter and .500 SLG guy, two very nice round numbers. What’s really amusing is that he was basically a .300 hitter with obscene power who barely freakin walked. In 1995 he hit .340 with 40 HR, but only had 22bb! Take away the 5 that were intentional and that’s seventeen unintentional walks for the year. Awesome.

Zach

Good stats.

crawdaddie

Something tells me he has schooled his son on his mistakes as a ballplayer.

DBJ on the year has hit .350 with a .478 opb in 31 games

When Mike Trout was drafted 2009 (he signed early starting his first game on July 5th) he hit .360 with a .418 opb in 39 games in rookie ball.

Huge leap in logic but wouldn’t it be amazing if the yankees have found the Trout of 2011

boogie down

That would result in a JIMP.

But Trout had the outstanding tool of his speed, whereas Bichette doesn’t really have that at all.

He’ll always be Yeicock in our hearts.

terrible draft pick, the curse of soriano strikes again

wanna be gm

Montero for andre eithier move swish to dh since they clearly have no intentions of using Jesus

pat

Yeah. Leaving all his options intact to maximize his trade value is stupid.

Rich in NJ

Except he’s still very young and plays a challenging position, so at this point I refuse to give up on the idea that they are smart enough to realize how valuable he can be for them.

No.

Swisher is better than Ethier defensively and the two are about the same offensively. No real improvement there (and why would we trade for a new RF anyway? Swish has been amazing lately.) And there’s no way in hell the Yankees will trade Montero for Ethier anyway. Even straight up. It Makes no sense.
